-- Stephen King, Author
“When we lose Fenway, we lose the sense that somebody sat here and watched Ted Williams hit.”
-- Bob Costas, Broadcaster
“When they want someone to push the button, I want to be the guy to blow this place up.”
-- David Wells, Yankees pitcher, who later pitched for the Red Sox
“As commissioner, you’re supposed to be objective. It wasn’t much of a secret, though, that I loved Fenway Park, especially how it made you a participant.”
